The Ayrshire isn't a regional cup, it's a league cup. Now that the Fife leagues have merged, the Fife Cup is largely a league cup now, with the former "Tayside" clubs not participating, while the North is also in effect a second league cup, as all entrants are from the Aberdeenshire AFA.

Ranaldo Bairn Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Any online source for this (not that I doubt you! @HibeeJibee ) As by chance literally 20 seconds ago I was on the SFA page looking for the up to date format/regs for this season, but they still only have last year's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same as last year, just with newly licensed clubs and qualifiers put into the preliminary round - so unless the SFA change something (they don't need to as there's still space) this will be the format.

craigkillie Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 The justification for the floodlights was about TV games rather than replays, was it not? There was always an option for Saturday replays up to R3, and that was still being used last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was all about replays and SPFL clubs moaning about midweek afternoon kick-offs (which was a fair point). The fact is, new member clubs who will take part in the early rounds of the cup are prevented from voting on the issue of replays, whilst clubs who normally enter at round 4 have a vote. There is no democracy in the SFA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patriot1 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 The decision hasn’t been made yet but I suspect it will be a done deal. I believe it’s the Highland clubs who don’t want to have to travel for replays. They don’t want a National non league either. Happy to just play among themselves all year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
